Use oanda.com to convert that because British embassy uses that website for £-naira exchange rate

Then when its time to buy the pounds, will he buy at oanda's rate, wouldn't it be at black market (abokifx's rate)?

I told him to use abokifx cos there's nothing wrong with over estimating! Everyone knows that the Naira fluctuates like a yoyo! He can check Oanda today and it might be N420 per pound, while abokifx will tell him its 490 per pound, if tomorrow, something happens, at least he will be assured that it wouldn't go higher than 490 per pound!

A better option would have been for you to draft YOUR personal statement and post it.
Then ask readers to critique it.
How would folks send you a sample “powerful personal statement” when no one knows jack about your personal goals? Or the course you are applying for? Or what drives you?

Hello Everyone, i do not wish to derail this thread. Certainly, leaving the country and having an international degree gives a competitive edge. However, i do notice there are lots of people like me on this thread, not born with a silver spoon, trying to succeed no matter the challenges . And since UK does not allow one to remain after studies unless you get a job offer from a reputable company.

Questions:
1. how easy is it to get a company to sponsor one after studies?
2. if there is no sponsor, what next?
3. then is it worth it for silver spoon-less people like me to gather so much money and then drop it in one country that does not want me around for so long...

your candid (and if possible brutish) comments are welcomed.

If your purpose is a job after school leave the UK alone. You can still risk it if you are going to Oxford or Cambridge. At least if you come back to Nigeria jobless, you can brag to your friends that you went to oxford grin

You can also consider Tier 1 Graduate Entrepreneur route if you can come up with a credible business venture. Sponsorship is quite easy to get as it's underutilised

I recently completed my MSc in the UK in November 2017. I was offered a studentship at another university in the UK for my PhD and I am hoping to start on May. My husband and son are applying as dependants so we need to have maintenance money for them as the studentship does not cover this. The maintenance money is in my UK account which I opened while I was in the UK. My questions are these
1. Can I use this UK account? The account is in my name but my tier 4 visa expired in January
2. Can I print an online statement and request a letter of authenticity from the bank, this is allowed under the UKVI policy, but is there any one who has done this and was successful?
3. Can I submit a stamped statement from the bank (which will be a scanned copy)

I am not very sure how to go about this. Pls I need your advice.

Thank you.

I submitted printed copies of my Barclays online statements in December. My wife and son (dependents ) are currently inside the room; they said the Beast from the East will kill them if they step out.

Go for it!
You are Good to go.

Studentship is sweet my sister.


Besides, you can ask your bank to send youu weekly account statements close to the date, to also include alongside the online printed statements .

Thanks to everyone that answered this question I posted. I contacted my bank in the UK and they stated that they will neither stamp the bank statements nor provide a letter of authenticity. I would have collected my ad hoc statement but I am in Nigeria now. Is there any suggestion on what else to do?

Their immigration website states that online statements have to be stamped on all pages or a letter of authenticity provided. Is this not required for bank accounts domiciled in the UK?

Ameera2018:
This may not be the right forum, but i am new to nairaland and gurus in the house kindly advise.

1. What do you thin about doing an MBA vs doing a specialized course like logistics and supply chain management in the UK, taking into consideration of getting a job when i move back to Nigeria and international employment opportunities.

2. I have a 5 years UK visiting visa will it be cancelled when i apply for a tier 4 visa?

Thanks

First, let me say this is a personal opinion and I will attempt to answer only No 1.

Any Uk degree certificate will give a superior recruitment advantage over other applicants anywhere in the world.
Both are management courses; while MBA teaches more about leading and managing people, Logistics and SCM teaches more on operations and transportation.
while i might be tempted to go for Logistics and Supply chain Management because it sounds specialized and employers might fall for it, an MBA can also work in the same field.
For job prospect, i would go for Logistics and SCM, if I want to start my own company that is not transport related, I would opt for MBA.
However, If my plan involves scouting for job in the UK, i will first check the timetable for the academic year and see which one of the two gives room to search for job and work during the day without interruption ( please never dream of working regularly at night, it's a bad thing, avoid it if you can).

Finally, let me say this "Life and success depends on many factors: being in the right place at the right time, luck, hard-work, focus, (maybe what you studied), ...and also what do you really want?"

Hello guys, Please when is the best time to go for UKVI tuberculosis test for tier 2 visa. How long does the result takes to come out or is it like canada that generate a document you add to your application
Re: Uk Student Visa/tier 4 Pbs - Your Questions Answered Part 3 by akfaa: 12:52pm On Mar 09, 2018
If you mean time of the year, that should be between October and May when there arent a lot of rush from tier 4 visa applicants looking to resume in September/October. Their office hours for testing is 7:30 till 11:30 so maybe try the earlier booking slots as you will not have to wait too long.
Your TB test certificate is given to you on the same day and you will attach it to your application.

Provided you have a C or better in your WAEC you don't need IELTS for a UK University.

Also, even with a third class, i'm sure some schools in the UK will admit anyone. There's nothing hard or special about getting the admission to a UK uni, as far as you don't need a scholarship and its not to a top 10 university... but yes, God is gracious!

Seem like you dread the thought of IELTS.

Okay, you may rest now. Your Uni will declare on your CAS that you already meet the English Language requirements.
So don’t sorry. You don’t need IELTS.

Meanwhile, why are you so scared of IELTS? Which is about the Simplest test anyone could write? Especially someone who already holds your kind of qualifications?
